We need help with food and drink donations as well as pre-dance set up, post-dance clean-up, selling pizza, and supervising the hallways during the dance. As always, all proceeds go directly to school enrichment funds through FRAUC. Please donate time and goods if you can! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080c4fa4a828aa8-2018

Titled Resilience, Relationships & Risky Behavior: What Parents Can Do to Support Their Children's Development and Safety in 2019, the talk will be held in A201 (Health Room) and run from 6-8PM.

Opportunity for Families to Help
Out at RAUC
Families often ask us how they can support the RAUC community and when we have suggested ways for you to do just that, you have not disappointed! We have a winter closet that is being accessed by students thanks to your generous clothing donations. Kind donations, and support, have also allowed us to start a snack pantry at school which is accessed by school teachers for their students so hunger does not interfere with learning. If families are still looking for ways to support RAUC, we are currently looking for water bottles, gatorade, granola bars, healthy snacks (goldfish crackers, pretzels), fresh fruit (clementines, bananas), paper towels, wipes and large ziplock bags. Contact Taraneh Ahmadi for your questions and comments.
